[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was Forensics: The Real CSI

Later, more of Death’s End

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

That’s consecutive wins, BTW - total wins (including today’s) is 1418 ...

Tea has been spare ribs in my not-secret mango-based BBQ sauce, with chips. Turned out nice again

We had some sunnier spells in the afternoon, but still a lot of cloud about

My Globle streak is 248 at the moment - it’ll be 249 once I do today’s in a few...

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been leftover zingy chicken bits

Quite variable weather out again, but mostly grey

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

I see I forgot to wish everybody good night last night. Sorry! For the record, I read more of Death’s End, in which humanity once again finds the Universe to be a bit more complicated than they realised

I really struggled to get to sleep last...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been toad in the hole with onion gravy. Made a nice change

This was accompanied by a bit of the motorway-adjacent cops plus dashcam clips programme

[NickFitz]

Another day done; three days to Easter

The weather continues to take a constantly changing variety of forms. Something for everyone!

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been a leftover pork cutlet in a wholemeal bap with apple sauce

Very changeable weather today. It keeps going extremely gloomy, then turning sunny, then back again. It’s actually starting to look rather Simpsonesque at the moment, but will it last?

Spring continues mostly grey and dull, but this doesn’t matter of you spend all your time online instead of going outside

• A bookkeeper stole $7.6 million from her employer. How did no one notice? - Canadiamns, it seems, can be a little too trusting: ”She had her boss’s unquestioning trust—even

Morning denizens

About half-an-hour ago there was a thin patch in the cloud towards the east through which the sun, though not visible as such, was able to cast a bright diffuse light. But this mistake has been corrected, and it’s now uniformly grey with a shower spitting light...

[NickFitz]

This evening’s viewing was the latest episode of Ambulance

And tonight’s reading was more of Death’s End

Monday again tomorrow. But it’ll be Easter at the end of the week! Though a four-day weekend isn’t quite as cool as it used to be, given that I normally...

[NickFitz]

Lunch earlier was a Pukka steak slice, and tea just now was chicken and chips, said fowl being seasoned enough to make it a bit zingy

Lots of mucking around with the forum import stuff earlier. I ended up having to get vB5 running locally again which was a pain, but it was the only...

Morning denizens

It’s another grey start and it's still a bit breezy, though not as much as it was. Therefore, the 6°C we’re getting right now “feels like” -2°; the expected high is 10°, but will presumably also be discounted. The barometers are up a touch at 1015/1023mB...

[NickFitz]

Monkey Life and other wildlife matters graced the screen today, and did a much better job of it than any of our human leaders ever manage

And tonight, I continued reading Death’s End

Early night now which will, through the power of BST, be transformed into a late night...

[NickFitz]

Tea was brought to me from the East African place

They don’t mess around there when it comes to chilli sauce! I had to take several breaks to blow my nose due to gustatory rhinitis

[NickFitz]

Afternoon denizens

It’s a windy day, with patches of blue sky to the west but mostly grey to the east - though a patch of blue has just appeared low in the northeast as well. Currently 8°C which is today’s high, but it “feels like” 0°. The barometers are up though, at 1013/1021mB....

[NickFitz]

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) in which a pornographer demonstrates how ridiculous the Constitution of the United States of America is successfully defends his right to free speech. Fair play on the Jerry Falwell defamation case

And then...

[NickFitz]

Tea has been a ribeye steak with fried onions and chips

This was accompanied by E1 of Estonia, a documentary series about the ferry that sank in the Baltic in the 1990s. This is on HBO Max, which has just launched in the UK. I already have their blockbuster stuff like The Wire and...
